Are you ready for the 2021 NFL season?
We're inching closer to kickoff of the 2021 NFL season, featuring an extra week of game action to indulge your football fixation!
With the newly expanded 17-week schedule, you can expect another year of historic milestones and shattered records in a league that saw a ton of shakeup via free agency and the 2021 NFL Draft.
A number of quarterbacks found new homes, including Detroit Lions veteran Matt Stafford, who was traded to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for quarterback Jared Goff.
Longtime Philadelphia Eagles QB Carson Wentz will also suit up for a new team, the Indianapolis Colts, whose head coach, Frank Reich, formerly worked with Wentz as his offensive coordinator in Philly.
Journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick will likely start for a record ninth different NFL franchise. The gregarious gunslinger signed with the Washington Football Team in March.
One team that hardly experienced any turnover was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The franchise not only made history as the first team to win a Super Bowl inside its home stadium last season, but all 22 starters on offense and defense from that championship run will return to the roster in 2021 — a first in the NFL's salary cap era.
Among those players is Tom Brady, the reigning, five-time Super Bowl MVP and seven-time Super Bowl champion.
At age 43, the oldest player in the league will look to add another title to his résumé, but the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and San Francisco 49ers are just a few of the teams equipped to dethrone the G.O.A.T.
With so much to look forward to in the upcoming season, you better make sure you're up to date on all the latest NFL developments before kickoff on Sept. 9.
